IMHO, Superiority is a poorly defined word. For many people, a superior operating system is one which runs their Microsoft Office suite. Thus, Windows 95 is superior to OS/2, Linux, Solaris, BeOS, JavaOS, whatever. I think Windows will dominate the desktop for a while. Maybe not keep ing their 95%, maybe it will go down to 90%. The one true threat to Windows desktop is increased use of browsers as desktops allowing other OSes to sneak into the corporate world. That's why Netscape was much more of a threat than OS/2 ever was. What Linux needs to put a dent in Windows is not another neat interface--it's had plenty already. It needs a good XML engine. Thoughts?
